“Facing a year like no other, we have altered the day-to-day operations of our institutions.”

That statement was made by one of the leading non-profit organizations, the Blackbaud Institute. Doesn’t that sum up all our lives? We truly have been living in a year like no other.

One pastor summed up what all in Christian leadership feel when he said, “We are tired. Gut tired.”

We keep praying and hoping that next month will be better. We are less than a year into COVID but we feel like it has been years since we knew any sense of normal. When will it get better? When it comes to giving it could be a long recovery. Consider this quote that comes from a recent paper released by the leading fundraising research arm in America the Blackbaud Institute. The paper is entitled, “The State of the Social Sector: Navigating in a Time of Uncertainty.”

“GivingUSA Foundation research indicates that, in the past, it has taken an average of three to four years for inflation-adjusted giving to rise back to pre-recession levels.” 

How do you handle a giving year like no other? You get help. One trend that is emerging is the move towards collaboration. You are probably in various Facebook Group pages designed to help you navigate through this crisis. Sites like this have been extremely helpful as churches have sought to re-open and deal with issues confronting us in a year like no other. Is there help for a giving year like no other?
